Based on 3 reviews
The 918 is a good entry level loader for us. We mainly use it for handling pallets. Handles great in our off road terrains where our forklift cannot go. Easily handles heavy weight.
The 918 loader has been a game-changer for our dairy farm. We use it every day for feed handling, general earthmoving, and a range of odd jobs around the farm. It’s strong, reliable, and easy to operate, making our workload so much lighter. MCM provides good support, and we're happy.
